West Africa’s leopards now officially endangered after 50% population crash
There are only about 350 mature leopards left in West Africa, according to the latest regional assessment by the IUCN, the global wildlife conservation authority. Leopards (Panthera pardus) in West Africa are thought to be genetically isolated from those in Central Africa, with little or no interbreeding between populations. They’re found in 11 countries: Benin, […]

For those of us in Galloway, this is extremely bad news. Stranraer used to be a large reservoir of #UKLabour/#SNP swing voters, and the population of Stranraer is substantially larger than the population of the Rhinns.

I see that “3.5% of the population” figure starting to wander into my TL (understandably) and soon (understandably) the backlash to it, and…OK…look…
No, I don’t think any switch magically flips when exactly 3.5% of a population joins the opposition to authoritarianism.
Yes, I think that threshold matters.
A thought here — not an expert!! grain of salt! — but here’s a thought that might help clear things up:

unicodelang: Languages spoken by country (2015)
A bipartite network of languages and the countries in which they are spoken, as estimated by Unicode. Edges are weighted by the proportion of the given country's population that is literate in a particular language.
This network has 868 nodes and 1255 edges.

Researchers from the University of Vienna have quietly compiled a digital directory so vast that it contains the personal details of nearly half the global population by scraping the data of 3.5 billion WhatsApp users.

Scaling and Population Loss in Mexican Urban Centres
Despite its pervasive implications, many cities around the world continue to expand in a fragmented and horizontal manner. Here, we analyse the complex dynamics of urban growth across 69 metropolitan areas in Mexico, using census data from 1990 to 2020, and develop a model of urban form change that considers changes in population size, density, and spatial configuration. We employ a radial probability density function and the urban expansion factor to create a framework for comparing urban expa…

CAPOS: The bulge Cluster APOGEE Survey VI. Characterizing multiple stellar populations and chemical abundances in the bulge globular cluster NGC 6569
Context. The CAPOS project aims to obtain accurate mean abundances and radial velocities for many elements, and it explores the multiple population (MP) phenomenon in Galactic bulge globular clusters (BGCs). NGC 6569 is one of the CAPOS targets. Aims. This study provides a detailed high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of NGC 6569 to derive precise abundances for elements of different nucleosynthetic origins and to unveil its MPs by focusing on key spectral features. Methods. We analyzed APOGE…
